TY - JOUR A1 - Luo, Jian-Sin T1 - A synopsis of Chinese epiphyllous liverworts T2 - Tropical bryology N2 - Epiphyllous liverworts are characteristic of tropical and subtropical forests where the air is very moist. The distribution of epiphyllous liverworts is primarily in the tropical or subtropical regions of Indo- Malay, Central and South America, central Africa and the Asian-Pacific regions of South Korea and southern Japan south to Australia. Epiphyllous liverworts are also abundant in some evergreen forests of China (Cao & Be, 1988; Chen & Wu, 1964; Wu & Guo, 1986; Wu & Lou 1978; Wu et al., 1983). Little has been known about the liverworts in Sichuan Province of China. Only eight species and one variety, belonging to eight genera have been reported from Mt. Emei (Wu & Lou, 1978) and some scattered records from Mt Erlang, Mt Yaan and Mabin County.
